Biggest difference is that Johns' "vision" is being published and Morrison's never will be.

--Previous Message-- : I think history is about to repeat itself. : Seeing the first images of Geoff Johns' : "Curse of Shazam", it looks like a : rerun of Judd Winick's "Trials of : Shazam": : the hoodie costume is the same, : the name change to Shazam is the same, : putting more focus on a Harry Potter : approach is the same. : : It's like Dan Didio and Geoff Johns had a : meeting and said, : "Geoff, I don't get those fans... they : didn't accept Trials... what's wrong with : them?" : : "I got an idea, Dan... Let's just redo : it, with me writing. I'll make Billy the : central character instead of Freddy... we'll : even make him look more like Harry Potter... : give him a pair of Clark Kent's glasses. : We'll keep the costume red. Definately gotta : keep the hoodie, though. Hoodies are so : cool. I'll make it work, whether the fans : want it or not. Just wait til those fanboys : see what I do with naughty Mary." : : When "Trials" was published, there : was another Capt Marvel series at the same : time, but this one had a very traditional : take, with a strong link to E Nelson : Bridwell's "World's Finest" run. : It was Alex Ross' "Justice". This : one the fans loved. : : This time around, we are getting the : "Trials" rerun, "Curse of : Shazam", and we should also be getting : a traditional take on Captain Marvel by : Grant Morrision and Cameron Stewart, the : Earth-5 Multiversity installment : "Thunderworld". : : Guess which one will be rejected and which : one will be embraced. : : History. Learn from it, or be doomed to : repeat it, DC. :
